This is one of my favorite photo's from this year taken through the windscreen of a moving car on boxing day morning at just gone 9am, in north Devon and at temperatures heading towards -20 in the frost hollows.

The image is unedited other than being squeezed by photobucket when I uploaded it.

It's a bit of a cheat -- with the climber and valley bottom exposed right the sky blew out, with detail retained in the sky the climber/rock face was virtually a sillhouette. So I took two shots, one exposed for the foreground, one for the sky and then merged them in Photoshop later on. Kind of tricky because I was hanging off a couple of rungs attached to a sheer face at the time, so getting both frames sufficiently close to be able to later put one on top of the other involved a fair bit of luck

Right at the edge of the woods, low sun, single remote flash low down and to the right (pretty much pointing straight back at the sun) to fill in the shadows that would otherwise obscure the rider's face. 1/100s exposure and a few tries to get the timing right.
